The same militias that prevented the Bureau of Land Management from rounding up cattle at Cliven Bundys ranch in Nevada could take action against federal agents all across the Western United States, according to the head of a gun advocacy group.Pratt and Mack also proposed a solution to the drought in California. Sheriffs should force utilities to divert water to farmers in arid regions in the state, they said.
....................
You know, we need a sheriff there that is just going to walk into the water facility and turn it back on, Pratt replied.
But Mack said one sheriff wasnt enough. He suggested 25 sheriffs were needed.
Take 25 California sheriffs, walk up to that facility, and say, Guess what boys, we got a court order. Turn on the water, and if you dont, we will, Mack explained. That is exactly what it is going to take.

If it was immediately and excruciatingly painful to the stupid, there would be less of it.
